BBQ restaurant changes owners, expands menu
That BBQ Place, 282 W. Central Ave. in Springboro, has changed ownership, phone number and menu.
The independent restaurant opened two months ago under the ownership of Bob and Jill Weiland, who formerly operated the Ron’s Pizza and Ribs franchise at that location since 2000, Bob Weiland said in September.
The restaurant is now called “That BBQ Place and More” and is owned by Bob Weiland’s mother, Brenda Weiland of Miamisburg, who said she came out of retirement after running bowling centers, restaurants and bars for 40 years.
The new menu assures diners that, “All soups and lunch specials are hand-made by Grandma.”
“Everything is made from scratch,” Brenda Weiland said. “We offer homemade bread with meals, and hopefully, we’ll start desserts next week, including homemade cookies.”
In addition to the ribs, pulled pork and other BBQ menu, the restaurant offers regular menu items such as beef hotshots and smothered steak, and lunch specials that include chicken fettucine on Thursdays and cabbage rolls with mashed potatoes on Fridays.
The restaurant is located at the corner of Park Avenue and Ohio 73. It’s open Monday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. The restaurant’s new phone number is (937) 514-7900.

TBill - I have definitely gone to a bowling alley just for the food. Maybe you have never had Poelkings burgers?

I don’t get the attraction to “soup made by grandma”. Have you ever driven to Springboro for the SOUP??!! I mean, really! Or to a bowling center for the food?!? What food do they plan to specialize in? Because it looks like they want to serve everything from cabbage rolls to BBQ, and NObody does EVERYTHING well! How many times has this family been in the news for opening or closing a restaurant? That ought to tell us something…

My wife and I ate there three weeks ago. the ribs are good but, they didn’t fall off the bone. I feel they were not cooked long enough or slow enough. The “Mac and cheese” was great Eating area is small. Hope you make it. Next on the list to try is the pulled pork. BBQ sauce was good as well.

We tried a slab last week, and will return. The dry rub was tasty, the meat tender. A little tucked away, so ask for landmarks if you’re not familiar with that part of Springboro.
